“Well that’s how many streets 37 shipping containers take up….”
“It’s gonna be HOW deep?!”
“Didn’t we once work on some sort of card game?”
“Make it stop….”
“‘Yes Mr Jackson is very concerned about deforestation….'”
“‘Yes the Chinese food is great. But I want to come home….'”
“Smith…Agent Smith. I need to speak with you regarding alleged leaks of weapon blueprints to foreign nations….”
“Yes, nineTEEN pounds….”
“‘Yes, Mr Jackson has plans to plant more trees….'”
“‘Oh, it’ll NEVER break 35’…idiot….”
“Wake up….”
“I swear we did. Yeah it used these little cards….”
“‘What do you mean you don’t have that many trucks?'”
“‘Jackson. Yes, two please. Yes, those are one way. C-A-Y-M-A-N….'”
“WE have to do the fulfillment?!”
“Cotton futures just did what?!”
“We’re gonna need a bigger warehouse….”
“‘No, I do not have a military export license but….'”
“Well tell him if 5XXL is too small he’s just gonna have to lose some weight.”
“No way. Run that calculation again….”
“‘Yes the hotel is very nice. But my wife….'”
“Well yes, that is a lot of pewter….”
“Phone. He says he’s from the FBI….”
“Ok, so I found an old abandoned airbase we can use…”
